I do feel the need to point out that we had a referendum. Everything else applies to everything the government does, but Brexit was technically one of the most democratic decisions the UK has made, actually giving people a vote instead of having someone choose on their behalf.

I’ve always interpreted “Binharic hymns” in 40k to just be modem noises.

When I bought my house there were a bunch of smart gadgets - lightbulbs, thermostat, fridge - and after a couple of months I’d gradually disabled all the smart features because they were causing more problems than they were fixing. The cold December day when we didn’t have any heating because a fucking server was down was the worst.

We’re gonna get the blackwall, just you wait. Cyberpunk is coming but only the bits that really suck.
You misunderstand me: Brexit is not an example of good democracy, but the bar is so low that one single vote on a hypothetical with no established aim is still more democratic than any other decision our government makes. All the stuff about governments without majorities and unelected chambers still applies to all their other decisions, but don’t even have a single public vote to back them up. It is less democratic.
